The air cools, mornings are damp with dew, and activity begins to soften. This is a time for preservation—of energy, fluids, and focus. Slow down. Eat warm foods. Let stillness shape your days as Autumn deepens.
The Hungry Ghost Festival honors spirits left wandering, unsatisfied and unseen.
Rooted in Buddhist and Daoist tradition, it is a season for compassion, ritual, and remembrance. Offer food. Burn paper. Float lanterns. Feed the forgotten—not just the dead, but the unmet longings we carry. Memory, here, becomes nourishment.
Dampness in Chinese medicine isn’t just a symptom—it’s a pattern with personality. It slows, sticks, and sometimes overstays its welcome. But it’s also essential to life. In this post, we explore what dampness really is, where it comes from, and how to live in better relationship with it.
Summer lingers, but the energy begins to descend. This qi node invites steadiness—ease back into routine, nourish with warm foods, and make gentle space for change. It’s not about ending abruptly, but softening into transition. Let the shift happen slowly, intentionally, with care.
As autumn quietly begins, Lìqiū marks the rise of Yin and the first inward turn of the year. This essay explores the subtle wisdom of seasonal restraint, the risks of lingering summer heat, and how to align with the cycle through reflection, refinement, and gentle shifts in daily conduct.

As summer peaks, Yang Qi resists its own decline—burning hotter, pushing harder, and tipping into what classical medicine calls pernicious Yang. This essay explores how to recognize that excess in the world and within ourselves—and how to respond with stillness, cooling nourishment, and the wisdom of knowing when to let go.
In Chinese medicine, heat is both essential and potentially disruptive. It fuels life processes like digestion and circulation, but when excessive or misplaced, it can lead to inflammation, agitation, or dryness. This post explores how heat functions in the body, where it comes from, and how to bring it back into balance.
Xiǎoshǔ marks the arrival of summer’s heat in earnest—still building, not yet peaking. The yang qi is fully extended, but the body begins to show the first signs of needing shade and rest.
In Chinese medicine, sleep isn’t just rest — it’s restoration. This post explores how bedtime can serve as a boundary, not just a stop button, and offers simple, nourishing practices to support the body’s natural descent into yīn 陰. Better sleep starts with honoring the transition into night.
